WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are they to be
used for adult seat belts, harnesses or for
attaching other items or equipment to the
vehicle.
If a cargo net is fitted, do not pull the top
tether strap through the cargo net in such
a way that there is slack in the strap to the
child seat.
Child restraints with a tether must be
anchored according to Australian law.
If you have any questions regarding child
anchorages we recommend that you consult
your Cadillac dealer.
The car is provided with three top tether
anchorages. Use the one that is right behind
the child restraint and attach the restraint as
follows:
1 Place the child restraint in the rear seat.
2 Secure the lower part of the child
restraint by means of the lower anchorages
(ISOFIX) or the seat belts as
described in the child restraint installation
instruction.

3 Lower the headrest and route the tether
over it.
4 Attach the tether to the anchorage.
If the anchorage is not visible then
release (see page 110) and fold the rear
seat backrest forward enough to reach
and fold up the anchorage in question.
5 Tighten the tether so that the back of the
child restraint is pressed hard against
the backrest.
6 Pull the child restraint to make a second
check that the restraint is securely
attached at both the lower anchorages
bars or the safety belts and the top tether
strap.
